Youth Programs
Our new bouldering-only program is focused towards youth who are interested in improving as boulderers with the potential to enter the competitive stream or simply progress through the sport as passionate lifelong climbers. This program is not geared towards first-time boulderers. The program sessions are divided by bouldering skill as outlined below.

Program Policies - Please Read Before You Book:
Deposit and Cancellation: At the time of registration, you will be required to pay the entire cost, 50% of which will be considered a deposit. Cancellations of any booking must be submitted in writing to alana@junctionclimbing.com two weeks before the first class to receive a full refund. Cancellations inside of two weeks will receive a Junction gift card for the amount paid, less 50% of the total cost which is considered the deposit. If minimum participant numbers have not been reached two weeks prior to the start of the program, you will be notified (via the email provided at the time of booking) that the program will be canceled, and the amount paid will be refunded in full via the method of payment used on registration. In the event of a mandated closure of the business due to a public health order (or similar circumstance), refunds will be issued for the prorated amount for the days missed, less 50% of the total cost which is considered the deposit. Exceptions to the above are wholly and entirely at the Junction's discretion. Junction's desk staff do not have the ability or authority to process refunds for lessons, programs, or camps. All inquiries for these should go to alana@junctionclimbing.com.
Class Dates: Registration for programs is limited to the specific day chosen. It is your responsibility to attend your selected program and alternate make-up days will not be provided.
Inclement Weather: If an evening of classes needs to be cancelled due to inclement weather (such as blowing snow, ice, road conditions, storms, or power outages), we will contact you via the email address provided by 4:00pm on the day. We will be taking cues from Environment Canada, the Thames Valley District School Board, Western University, and Fanshawe College about the cancellation of evening classes.
